AGAIN thank you TOTV for the expertise you bring to us newbies
My neighbor painted their driveway themselves. In time in began to peel. When we had our driveway stained by COST-LESS, the neighbor also had theirs re-done.

COST-LESS brought in an outside guy that used a grinder to take all paint off. They would not guarantee work until all paint was off. Memory says that costs them about $600 in addition to the staining or about $1/square foot. When I look at their driveway, the staining is beautiful, but in certain light conditions, I can see circular grind marks....

I do not know if there are options to grinding or if this grinder made mistakes, but the quality stain contractors will know....
